On Ton as Usual.

The HERALD long ago suggested that
The Interstate Commerce bill was more
in the interests of the railroad than of
the people; and its practical workings
seem to justify that view. 1t seems to
be tacitly admitted now by the most ar
dent advocates of the law, that without
she regulating power of the Commission,
It will not work at all. But were the
commission composed of five hundred
instead of five men, it would be insult
ticient to prevent the law from working
to the disadvantage of many classes
notably the farmer and stock raiser of
the West. 1t now costs about ga head
more to ship cattle from the ranch
country to Chicago, and fully 81 head
more from Chicago to the East. Com
mission men say it will cost four cents
bushel more to ship corn to the East
from Chicago. All othel products will
have to pay increased through rates.
The Pacific roads have raised the rates
of freight from San Francisco to Chicago
from 81 per 100 to 81 per 100 on dry
hides in pressed bales. Instances
might be multiplied, but these
few viii suffice to illustrate the
advantages this law gives to producers
and consumers alike. and how beauti-
fully it controls the railroads Compe-
.tition has its advantages. and even pool
ing was preferable to the present sys-
tenn whereby, according to u prominent
shipper who has studied the situation,
all the railroads from terminal points
are pooled by an act of Congress. They
certainly will not destroy their local
business, which is so per cent OF their
earnings, to haul 20 per cent Of through
business.

More about Birmingham.

The question has been asked if there
is any business done in Birmingham
outside of the manufacture OF iron and
the real-eState business. OF course
there is. There are small manufacture
ing concerns that work wood, TIN and
other materials, while the trade, both
Wholesale and retail, seems to be good
There are several wholesale grocery
stores, while some whoesaling is done
in dry goods. boots and shoes and other
lines.
They have good school houses and
their churches, which are particularly
fine for new city, are all paid for they
say, and they know no more about a
church debt than they do about a rail
road debt In fact the way in which
they have secured their railroads, and
all large industries and improvements
shows the controlling power
of some long and wise heads. They
have never given bonus for anything,
nor has any railroad company received
penny or any othor concession for
coming there. They have even pur-
chased their terminal facilities, the
Georgia Central paying the Elyton
Land Company. while the writer was
there, the enormous sum ofS2S5, 900 for
ground for their depot, warehouses
and shops. The city taxes last year
were only So cents on every thousand
dollars.
But iron and coal are at the bottom of
all the prosperity of the city; what has
given it 10000 population, and gives
rise to the prediction of 100000 in the
course OF few years The following is
a list of the principal coal and iron in
dustries in and around Birmingham and
showing the amount of capital invested:

to clear away the mystery. A bbott is,or

was educated for the Methodist ministry,
and had church In Canada. He married
. young girl whose home was near Tor
onto, and by his marriage displeased his
family, and as a result was cast OF. he
came TO st. Louis with his bride about
| five weeks ago and got a job as silver
/ platter, having learned the trade before he
became preacher. They strugg ed along
in poverty aud distress until about ten
days ago, when the woman died, as the
| doctor said, from cholera morb1s.
| Next day the husband found a letter
written by her before she died, in which
she declare her intention OF taking hel
life by poison and begging him to follow
lbe.. The letter is a lei gthy and pathetic
one, setting forth all their troubles ant
&C cusing herself of being the cause OF 1t
all. The second day after her death bt
disappeared, and the next day his EN-
ployer got . letter in which he declared
; his intention of following his wife. VIII
his letter he enclosed his wife's last epis
tie. The employer, who says be know
